V-8 produces an SAE-certified 420 horsepower (at 5600 rpm) and 46
lb-ft of torque (at 4100 rpm), the most power of any pickup engine an
torque of any light duty pickup truck engine
The 6.2L V-8 available for Silverado LTZ and High Country and Sierr
SLT and Denali models also delivers class-leading maximum availabl
trailering capacity of 12,000 pounds when properly equipped
"Power and towing capacity are fundamental capabilities fo
full-size pickups," said Jeff Luke, General Motors Executiv
Chief Engineer for full- and mid-size trucks. "The 2014 Silverad
and Sierra deliver unmatched power and towing capability with a hos
of ingenious driver aids.
The optional Max Trailering Package is available on 2WD and 4WD V-
crew cab and double cab models and includes
Trailering package with seven-pin and four-pin connecto

In addition to the 6.2L V8, Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 will offe
a 4.3L V-6 SAE-certified at 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque an
a 5.3L V-8 certified at 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
Silverado and Sierra trucks equipped with the 4.3L V-6 will hav
available towing ratings of up to 7,600 pounds, the highest for an

also use a compact overhead-valve design and weight-saving component
such as aluminum blocks and cylinder heads to reduce mass fo
additional energy savings
All three provide the proven power, torque and dependability of
large-displacement engine, seamlessly switching to four-cylinder mod
to save fuel during light-load driving. The 5.3L V-8 has EPA-estimate
fuel economy of up to 23 mpg highway (2WD models), the best of any V-
